Long Beach, CA Airport. Just out sight seeing some old familiar grounds back in my training days. The problem is, none of those old hang-outs at the airport exist anymore! Progress wins again. Oh well...

This used to be the final flight/test area where the DC-10's & 9's parked before delivery. Only thing there now was this B1. Not sure what the story is on this plane, but there is was...

Found these DC-3's on the south side of the airport. They are used to service Catalina Island 22 miles off the coast....

On the west side of the airport is where the C-17 Globemaster is assembled. Next time i'll get over there and get some shots. I did manage to find a few of these on the south side near the tower. These aircraft(sorry you can't see the 2nd craft)look pretty used. Not sure if it's "warranty", or what....

I have lots of pictures of airplanes, and lots of pictures of motocycles. I have very few photos of airplanes and motorcycles.
However I did take a couple yesterday.
2011 Suzuki TU250X and a Hummel UltraCruiser (I think it is a '10 or '11).

Taxing out for another flight. The plane (and pilot) has about 400 hours since new. That's a lot of flying. It has been to Oshkosh, and lots of other places too.
